Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wiper blade for a broom motor vehicle wiper.
  • It relates more particularly to a wiper blade comprising conventionally a wiping lip and a stiffening vertebra arranged in a housing.
  • Windshields in modern motor vehicles are also appearing more complex in their embodiment resulting by way of consequence of surface flatness defects, i.e. vertices and hollows on the surface.
  • the wiper blades of current wiper blades do not allow not properly clean windshields with flatness defects from the surface; the flexible rubber squeegee does not reach the hollows when this is located on a wiping area made up of vertices. Indeed, in presence of vertices and valleys, the vertices cause compression different from the lip in some places causing a sudden reversal and noisy lip.
  • a wiper blade of the type described above further comprising suspension means arranged between the blade and the carrier making it possible to increase the effectiveness of the wiping in the case of very long blades and / or used on a large windshield with variations substantial surface surface.
  • suspension means may consist of a fluid or a foam housed in the carrier.
  • the invention aims to provide a wiper blade that is simple to make and inexpensive.
  • the present invention relates to a wiper blade for motor vehicle windscreen wiper blade comprising a wiping lip and a stiffening vertebra arranged in a casing or molded onto a metallic vertebra in the middle of the stiffening vertebra (3) as well as suspension means arranged between the wiping lip and the vertebra of stiffening, characterized in that the suspension means consist a hollow resilient material connecting the vertebra to the lip, said resilient material hollow having in cross section the shape of a semicircle whose top of the arc of a circle is extended by a projecting part presenting the shape of a "V" and designated foot of lip whose end of the "V” forms said lip and in that the suspension means also forms a hinge articulation of the lip on each side of said foot in the direction of movement of the wiper blade.
  • the resilient material is preferably made of rubber.
  • Another object of the present invention relates to a windscreen wiper blade.
  • motor vehicle provided with a squeegee as just described.
  • a wiper blade 1 for broom wiper motor vehicle comprising a wiping lip 2 and a stiffening vertebra 3 arranged in a casing, not shown, as well as suspension means 4 arranged between the wiping lip 2 and the vertebra stiffening 3.
  • the suspension means are constituted a hollow resilient material 4 connecting the vertebra 3 to the lip 2, said material hollow resilient having in cross section the shape of a semicircle whose top of the arc of a circle is extended by a projecting part 5 presenting the shape of a "V" and designated foot of lip whose end of the "V” forms said lip 2.
  • This suspension means 4 also forms a hinge of lip 2 on each side of said foot in the direction of movement of the brush wiper, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, and designated by references 6a and 6b.
  • the deformation of the resilient material 4 makes it possible to satisfy the inversion lip when changing the direction of the brush.
  • this resilient material 4 having the shape of a semicircle ensures thanks to its elasticity and its variation in geometric shape absorption of the different axial forces resulting from the difference in parallelism between the stiffening vertebra 3 and the surface to be cleaned.
  • the thickness of the resilient material 4 of the rubber type or similar is sized according to the desired bearing force of the lip 2 of squeegee 1 on the glass surface to be cleaned.
  • the squeegee according to the present invention is relatively simple to perform and allows, by the deformation of the resilient material, to compensate for the flatness defects of the glass surface.
  • the squeegee according to the present invention applies for both windshields and vehicle rear windows automotive or for any other device comprising a glazed surface requiring cleaning such as for example a windshield for trains.
